    Companions? I am level 13 and I do not even have one. If we do get them but can only purchase them and not be given them, i might as well go back to STO lol

    you can get companions easily without buying them. at level 16 you will get a quest to go to the companion store and I believe you get a companion token. even without that, it only cost something like 1 silver and 50 bronze to buy a level 1 companion and those guys are pretty good

    The generic cleric companion is really good but unfortunately currently caps at 15.

    For a Rouge I personally prefer the "Guardian Fighter" type. For the expensive Z-Store items that would be the Earth Elemental creature ( I cannot for the life of me spell the name of that thing, so I won't even try). It has good defence and Threat Generation, as well as a Ranged attack, and, I think, an AoE (not positive on that one, maybe others know better).

    Phoera is the way too go, if u r lucky and get one :)

    btw. the idea with Companion Skins is just great, reminds me on smth like Pokemon, where the different Skins showing the grow up of ur companion in lvl's.
    Lvl 30 Phoera skin just too good. :D

    During the betas I tried multiple companion pets. The zen was going to be reimbursed so why not? :)
    The Acolyte of Kelemvor is great for the TR. It gives you a shield buff that reduces all damage by 10% and a life steal buff that returns life based on the damage done. As a TR you do a ton of damage. I use her now in live, and I never die. Hell, I don't even use pots anymore. She's just that good. I stay away from damage pets as they currently have horrible attack speed imo. The tank pets are great for solo, but in dungeons they split mobs too often and cause more chaos than needed (Again, imo). End game, I'm definitely using either the cat/ioun stone + bonus stats route or stick with the Acolyte for survival in tough dungeons. Anyway, good luck on whatever you pick :)

    They are only 450k AD in the auction house, which is about 1000 Zen at current exchange rates. That makes them the cheapest tier 3 companion. (Since the exchange rate goes down, they will get relatively more expensive as time goes by.)

    For a rogue I would use the cleric you get at level 16. I still use her with my CW (57 at the moment) because even though she dies every second fight, she still uses percentage-based heals on you. If they sold a proper healer in the Zen store, I would have bought it already.

    In game companions are 2g in live.. beyond the one you get from questing..

    For TR I'd go with the Tank companion, just to provide you with constant Combat Advantage (if you have damage coming from two different directions on the monster)

    If you're going to buy from zen store, the ioun stone is great when you're playing with a partner (so you still get the combat advantage).. Ioun stone gives you all it's stats as bonuses to your stats.. and it can't be killed.

    That's assuming their price doesn't continue to plummet, I'd bet money it will. They were 800k just the other day, and I saw a couple for ~350k last I was on. Price is going to continue to drop until nightmare boxes are removed, then it will skyrocket.

    I agree on the cleric. Seriously the best pet in the game, for every class. Hopefully the upgrade scrolls are really coming soon, they've already started removing other "coming soon" references (like the 20v20 PvP map stuff).

    Good point. People do dump them too cheap, and if one person does, others just undercut so that in the end no one really makes any actual profit. I think for under $10 they are an excellent pet, though. Just takes ages to train them up. (I wish active, but not summoned, companions gained XP if the one that us out is at its max rank. Currently, I swap companions every time I turn in a quest, then go back to the cleric.

    Cat or Ioun stone. THey don't fight and give you straight out stat boosts, making your DPS insane.
